Modest Clothing in Women's Plus Sizes

As a fair warning for Lands' End, most of the swimwear styles offered are too low-cut in the neckline to be modest. However, a few "tugless" tank styles may be worth considering, along with modest add-on pieces such as swim skirts and tops. Lands' End is an industry leader in fit and fabric quality for swimwear, including what they call a "no-ride" swimwear leg.

These four-piece designs the company calls "Original Kosher Swimwear" are available with matching headwear. Aqua Modesta states that its swimwear material is opaque even when wet, dries quickly and does not cling. Fabrics are UV-rated for greater sun protection. Swim sets in women's regular sizes 2 to 20 are offered in addition to girls' and maternity styles.

We have several friends who have ordered and love these swimsuits. The style is a bodysuit with attached sarong, split up the left front leg to allow for movement. The attached bra in the women's sizes is a soft shelf liner with minimal support, however, one of our friends with an average bustline claims no problem with support in these suits. An additional bra or tank suit could always be worn underneath for added support.

This family-operated company produces a dress style worn over leggings in many choices of fabrics. Ready-made options are ready for shipping, or styles can be made to order. This swimwear is available in a full range of sizes from women's regular and plus to maternity and girls' sizes.

Swim modestly in Victorian style with this two-piece cotton suit, an underdress with split pant bottom and a flared overskirt. This style is available in a selection of colors, and two other sailor styles in navy fabric are also offered.

This UK-based manufacturer delivers worldwide. Most of the styles feature attached headcoverings, but a section of "Semi Cover Swimsuits," such as the one pictured here, have separate swim caps. The styles are long tunics over leggings.

This two-piece dress and leggings swimsuit set is available in a variety of printed nylon and Lycra blend fabrics. A front flounce covers the bust. Skirt length is approximately mid-thigh. This company produces items as they are ordered and does not accept returns for alterations, exchanges or refunds. Delivery requires four weeks. This style is also offered in girls' sizes.

From this activewear company that supplies most sizes in the plus range, find one-piece skirted swim dresses with high necklines, tank suits with leg options for coverage to the knee and tankini-style swim separates. Among the daywear offerings are knit tops with modest necklines and stretch cotton undershorts to prevent chafing between the legs when wearing skirts.
